This is the Xiaomi Watch 5 I tested in the video, and for £270 the spec sheet is honestly wild: Wear OS, a big bright AMOLED display, sapphire glass, and a massive 930mAh silicon-carbon battery. If you want loads of smartwatch functionality, app support, and strong battery life in a premium-feeling build, it’s a really compelling pick—just be aware the setup and some tracking accuracy can be a bit hit and miss.
Pros
- +Excellent battery life for a Wear OS watch (up to 6 days claimed)
- +Big, bright 1.54-inch AMOLED display (1,500 nits peak)
- +Sapphire glass front and back for scratch resistance
- +Wear OS app support plus Google Wallet and offline Google Maps
- +Dual-band GPS and 150+ sport modes with 50m water resistance
- +Gesture controls for calls and alarms are genuinely useful
Cons
- -First-time pairing/setup was very frustrating in my testing
- -Sleep tracking can be inaccurate (missed wake-ups, start time off)
- -Step counting seems slightly high compared to what it should be
- -Not ideal if you need the most accurate fitness stats possible
